23a. Update Firmware and Code in Block (Using
TSM)
23a. Update Firmware and Code in Block
(Using TSM)
Do this step even if you performed 13. Update SP Firmware in Enclosure If Necessary.
For each PMF CRU or IOMF CRU in each enclosure you added, check (and update if
necessary) the SP firmware, processor boot code, and SCSI boot code:
Step Action Result
1. In the TSM Service Application, select Display. A menu appears.
2. Select Single SP Firmware Update. The Single SP Firmware
Update dialog box appears.
3. From the Service Processor CRU listing, select
the PMF CRU in slot 50 of the processor
enclosure you just added.
These selections are displayed:
•
Service processor firmware
•
Processor boot code
•
SCSI boot code
4. Examine the State Box for the Processor boot code.
•
If the State Box is OK, skip to Step 5.
•
If the State Box is not OK, perform Step 4a through Step 4d:
a.
Click the check box for the Processor boot code.
b. Click Perform action. The Update Action Summary
dialog box appears.
c. When the Status line lists the action as
Completed, click Close.
The Update Action Summary
dialog box disappears.
d.
Perform a hard reset of the processor:
(Do not close the TSM Service Application
session; you will use it again in Step 5.)
1. Launch and log on to the TSM Low-Level
Link.
2. Click Processor Status. The Processor Status dialog
box appears.
3. Click to select the processor you want to
update.
4. From the Processor Actions list, select Hard
Reset and then click Perform action.
After one to three minutes, the
Action Status box indicates a
successful Hard Reset.
5. When the status line lists the action as
Completed, click Close.
If the action does not complete
successfully, see Action Detail
for more information.
5. Examine the State Box for the SCSI boot code.
•
If the State Box is OK, skip to Step 6.
•
If the State Box is not OK, perform Step 5a through Step 5c:
a. Click the check box for the SCSI boot code.
